It's handy for the station so might attract more commuters on their way home.

New Bhoy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 James - apparently the council have told Val's shop (top of LL) to get rid of their fruit and veg display - see separate thread for details http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,397438- given them 20mins notice. Any reason why that you can think of? Or is it just the new sainsbury's dont want the competition...

nutty Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Sorry for cross posting but this is probably a better threadAnyone know when the rubbish vans are next coming around? We've been forced to fill our brown bin due to green one being full and now that's full also. It's at least 3 weeks since they last collected!

James Barber Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi nutty, Where do you live.All normal rubbish and recyclnig collections are meant to be proceeding. The only collections not proceeding are brown bins (garden waste) ones and bulk refuse collections - the staff have been diverted to help with regular rubbish and recycling collections which are taking longer than normal.Tell me your address and I'll ensure they get to you asap - and empty the brown bin that you've used for regular rubbish.

James Barber Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi tommy,Adys Road forms the borders between two other wards - South Camberwell and The Lane.Every year Southwark spends around ?5M on road, pavement and street lighting repairs and upgrades.Roughly half of that spend is now decided locally by local councillors. So every year each ward has ?33,333 for road and pavement repairs beyond pot hole filling, each ward also has roughly ?25,000 for street lighting.For Adys Road you should contact South Camberwell and The Lane councillors and ask them to use some of the ?66,667 that between them they have to spend each financial year.

Shankley Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Re Landells Road, Rubbish situation is annoying. I have a small wheelie bin as i try to recycle as much as possible. Problem is, there are also 4 people living in my house so when the rubbish isnt collected for 2 weeks, I am overspilling. Is there a collection tomorrow?

James Barber Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 With such a cold winter it has really brought to light those homes where residents don't have loft insulation.If you don't have loft insulation you may be entitled to free or heavilly discounted loft insulation via one of the following routes:- 0800 358 6668 (Creative Energy Network)- 0800 512 012- 0845 070 5059Southwark Council insulation.

James Barber Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Grit bin russling. I kid you not.Lambeth Council has had a spate of grit bin thefts. 101 so far. Each grit bin costs over ?165. So that's a lot of money has been stolen. Southwark Council has found that its grit bins get used for rubbish, stolen, etc so relies on a different apporahc of depositing grit to a location as needed - harder to steal a pile of grit than a grit bin.If you see anyone removing a grit bin do report it via 999.

Medley Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'd encourage use of www.fillthathole.org.uk - I've found councils/TfL do sometimes respond to this. I wish someone would take the bus-only section Rye Lane in hand - it's atrocious now, and of course even worse after the cold weather.
